Who needs a wallet when you have a smartphone?

At Metairie Bank, we work hard to make sure the most convenient payment methods are available to our customers. That includes the top mobile payment methods. All consumer Metairie Bank Debit and Credit Cards are available on Apple Pay, Android Pay, and Samsung Pay!

A mobile payment method (also known as mobile money, mobile wallet, or mobile money transfer) refer to payment services performed from or via a mobile device. Instead of paying with cash, check, or credit cards, a consumer can use a mobile phone to pay for a wide range of services and digital or hard goods.

What is a contactless payment method?

Contactless payment is a secure method for consumers to purchase products or services via debit or credit cards, by using radio-frequency identification (RFID) or near field communication (NFC) for making secure payments. To make a contactless payment, a person simply needs to tap their card or smartphone near a point-of-sale terminal – leading to the nickname “tap-and-go”.
